REU SITE: Astronomy Site at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa

一个天文学本科生研究经验（REU）站点将于1995年、1996年和1997年夏季在塔斯卡卢萨的阿拉巴马大学运行。该网站学生项目的主要研究重点是天文学和天体物理学领域。这些学生将与物理和天文系的天文小组一起工作。天文学组现有教职工6人，研究教授1人，博士后5人，研究生12人。计划每年招收5名REU暑期学生。该暑期项目将持续10周，并将为学生提供2700美元的暑期津贴。将提供免费住房和一些旅行支持。学生参与者将在竞争的基础上从全国各地的申请中选出，但最繁重的招聘将在美国中南部。学生们将参与研究活动，也将参加有关科学和一般科学技术的协调研讨会。这些活动将帮助本科生培养良好的研究技能，并将他们介绍给当前的研究课题。学生项目的设计是为了让学生完成一个特定的研究项目，并且学生获得的科学成果将在一流的科学期刊上发表。入选的学生将被支持参加专业科学会议并发表论文。

9424226 Crocker A Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in Astronomy will be operated at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa during the summers of 1995, 1996, and 1997. The major focus of the research for the student projects at this site is in the areas of Astronomy and Astrophysics. The students will be working with the Astronomy group within the Department of Physics and Astronomy. There are six academic faculty, one research professor, five postdoctoral researchers, and 12 graduate students in the Astronomy group. It is planned to have five REU summer students each year. The summer program will run for 10 weeks and will offer a summer stipend for the students of $2700. Free housing and some travel support will be provided. The student participants will be chosen on a competitive basis from applications from around the country, but the heaviest recruiting will be in the mid-southern United States. The students will be involved in research activities and will also take part in coordinated seminars on science and general scientific techniques. These activities will help the undergraduate students develop good research skills and will introduce them to current research topics. The student projects are designed so that the students will complete a particular research project and that there will be scientific results obtained by the students that are publishable in a first rate scientific journal. Selected students will be supported to attend and present papers at professional scientific meetings.
